About Promise from the Viking
Taken in a raid. Bound by fate. Torn by desire.
In the year 875 AD, nestled in a quiet valley along the southern coast of England, Leah’s life is simple and serene—until the day Viking sails darken the horizon. Her village is ravaged, and she is taken captive aboard a longship bound for the cold, unfamiliar shores of Norway.
There, Leah is offered a bargain by Ada, the matriarch of a powerful Norse household: serve her son, Ari, for a few short months, and she will be granted safe passage home. Leah agrees, hoping to endure her time in silence and solitude, praying that Ari remains at sea long enough for her to leave unnoticed.
But fate has other plans.
Ari returns, still haunted by the loss of his wife and child. Grief has hardened him, and though he is drawn to the quiet strength of the foreign woman in his hall, he keeps her at arm’s length. Leah, too, finds herself unexpectedly stirred by the brooding warrior, even as she clings to the hope of returning to England.
As the days pass, desire and duty war within them. In a world shaped by conquest and survival, can love take root between two souls from opposite shores?
